perfect birds and infallible in the races. This year 2006 after the
arduous work to start up the "Derby International Arona-Tenerife"
ONE-LOFT-RACE, litle time we have for us pigeons. Despite we were
decided to race some birds from 1º Provintial from Fuerteventura. We

Unequivocally, Canary Island Breeding Station has achieved the
ultimate in the sport of Pigeon Racing.

C.I.B.S. Canary Islands Breeding Station started as a breeding centre
for racing pigeons in 2003 officially in both the Canary Islands. We
aim exclusively in breeding youngsters with specific qualities for
long distance racing (500-800 kms) and overnight long distance racing
(800-1100 kms).

Canary
Islands Breeding Station (CIBS) is the next chapter in the book of
Jose Ledesma whose desire to reach the summit of Pigeon Racing, began
many years ago. Curiosity gave way to desire and finally acquired
knowledge, in his quest to create a family of outstanding pigeons. The
achievements of Jose in his specialized breeding program has resulted
in special birds, those with the characteristics of extreme
intelligence, refined musculature and skeletal makeup, desire,
instinct and homing ability. Canary Islands have about 2000 racing
pigeon fanciers.

Years of Breeding Intellect

As
Jose developed his long distance pigeons, his birds moved to the top
of the racing charts culminating in a World Record over the sea
by “Bayo Casablanca” a 2000 bird. “Bayo” is the only pigeon to fly
1064 km (661 miles) over the sea. This foundation cock won 1st
place in the Casablanca race and is now used exclusively in the newly
organized CIBS. It was decided in 2003 to continue the selective
breeding program founded by Jose Leedesma and that in turn has
resulted in the CIBS.

The
Criteria our Breeders have to meet.

We
decided to offer some of our birds to racing pigeon fanciers world
wide. In order to provide and maintain the same excellent quality in
the pigeons we are offering for sale, we decided that our breeders
must meet a certain criteria in order to be a part of our breeding
program. At a minimum, our breeders must have flown 550 km (342 miles)
over the sea. They must demonstrate the qualities listed above and
they must produce offspring with excellent racing capabilities.

Breeding Pairs

CIBS
maintains 40 breeding pigeons. Our foundation birds are Bayo, holder
of a World Record for over the sea flight, three winners from SAFI 850
km (528 miles), the only lone bird from the Island Tan-Tan 550 km (342
miles). All of our breeders have won at least one long distance-over
the sea race. Their first generation offspring are offered for sale.
For second generation offspring, their grand parents must have won two,
